"pegging (at)" "shifting (to)" Explanation: Aufhänger = a peg (Schäfer: Wirtschaftswörterbuch).--- Aufhängung can be understood here as a metaphor for establishing something at or relocating something to a (presumably new) level: The responsibility for these activities may, for example, have been centralized before. Your bullet point might translate as: >>* Pegging the responsibility for marketing and sales at the regional or national level<< --- or >>* Shifting the responsibility for marketing and sales at the regional or national level<< --- Umsetzung in this context is more likely to stand for sales rather than implementation. ((Umsetzung: selling, turning over; implementation, realization; putting into force, transformation [into national law] (Zahn); transfer, transferral, adoption (Schäfer) |

Assigning Explanation: Depends on how you've chosen to write the preceding points in the bulleted list, otherwise you could also say 'assignment of'. Depending on the context, they could even mean 'transferring' of the responsibility for marketing/distribution and implementation to the regional or state level. |

delegation / delegate Explanation: "Delegation of sales and marketing responsibility at the regional or Land level." Here Land can be translated country or German province, depending on the context. From the lack of articles in "auf Laender-niveau" I take it that it means the responsibility at that level will be delegated, rather than the responsibility will go to that level. Besides, Land and region may be in a hierarchical rather than alternative relationship, and thus represent 2 different levels. |
